Question 1: If invited to a traditional tea ceremony in Japan, what is the culturally appropriate way to consume the tea?

Question 2: Which fashion designer is known for his iconic wrap dress design?

Diane von Furstenberg's wrap dress, introduced in 1974, became a symbol of women's liberation and has since been worn by millions of women worldwide. The dress is known for its versatility and flattering fit.


Question 3: What ethical theory holds that an action is right if it promotes the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people?

Utilitarianism, developed by philosophers like Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, is a consequentialist theory that determines the morality of an action based on its outcome. It aims to maximize overall happiness and well-being for the majority of people affected by the action.



Question 4: In which stage of the growth cycle are coffee beans harvested?

Coffee beans are the seeds of a cherry-like fruit called a coffee cherry. Coffee is harvested during the cherry stage when the fruits are bright red, glossy, and firm. The flesh is removed leaving the seeds or beans which are then dried and roasted to make coffee.

Question 1: - no where, can I find, that you slurp the tea audibly, this is from the "By Food - Japanese Tea Ceremony"
The host will present the tea bowl to each of the guests in turn. When you receive the bowl of tea, the “front” of the bowl will be facing you. You should pick up the bowl with your right hand and place it in your left palm. When the tea is served to you, bow once and raise the tea bowl to the host.

Rotate the bowl clockwise so the “front” of the bowl is not facing you anymore. Take a sip and compliment the host on the tea. After taking a few sips, wipe the rim of the bowl. Make sure the front of the bowl is facing the host when you return it, and then bow to express your gratitude.

And this seems to be the common theme every time I searched for Japanese Tea Ceremony. Also quietness seems to be one of the prevailing themes - slurping, to me, seems to be a very disrespectful act.
